“Who would benefit from a severe global recession? The typical answer is "no one," as a drop in economic activity is assumed to hurt everyone. But it's not quite that simple.

“In a world getting used to extreme weather, 2023 is starting out more bonkers than ever and meteorologists are saying it's natural weather weirdness with a bit of help from human-caused climate change. Much of what's causing problems worldwide is coming out of a roiling Pacific Ocean, transported by a wavy jet stream.”
“A stubborn La Nina and manmade warming are behind recent wild weather, scientists say”

“The driver of California's relentless storminess is an exceptionally strong jet stream that extends across much of the Pacific at unusually low latitudes. Each major impulse along the jet stream has pulled tropical moisture northward and concentrated it into atmospheric rivers — the channels of moisture aloft that bring California some of its most intense rain and flood events.”
“More wind, rain, flooding ahead for storm-battered California
At least two more intense cyclones expected to slam the state into next week.”

“Half of glaciers will be gone by 2100 even under Paris 1.5C accord, study finds”
“If global heating continues at current rate of 2.7C, losses will be greater with 68% of glaciers disappearing”
